youth leadership

opportunities for queer and Trans young people to creatively develop and practice leadership skills

We're reviving our Queer Youth Advisory Council!

The first group is meeting from February to May 2025.

Stay tuned for our fall sessions!

Dreams of Hope is looking for young people to join the reiteration of our Queer Youth Advisory Council (QYAC)!

QYAC is about growth and leadership—personal and creative. This is your chance to take things to the next level, especially if you're a part of our programs

With support from Dreams of Hope staff and teaching artists, QYAC members:

Set and satisfy a personal, career, or creative goal.
Explore what leadership means to them and grow into it.
Connect with queer artists for mentorship and real-world advice.
Get hands-on experience planning and promoting DOH programs and events.
Make a lasting impact as part of the DOH community.
Earn a stipend at the end of the program (yep, you get paid!).

QYAC is your space to grow, connect, and create your own path—while making a difference!
